The PHPD accepts two (2) forms of payment when posting bonds for persons being held in jail or for persons posting bond on outstanding warrants. We accept cash (in the exact amount) and credit cards at our police station. The credit cards accepted at the police station are VISA, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and Debit Cards. A 5% fee will be charged per transaction based on the amount of the bond for anyone posting a bond with a credit card at our police station. There is an additional Bond Surcharge in the amount of $25 that is charged by the State of Ohio for each bond posted. Bonds guarantee an appearance at court and may be forfeited if the person fails to appear for their court date. Bonds written to the individual facing the charges may be used towards any fines and/or fees ordered by the court. Bonds may be subject to change by the court.

Persons having an outstanding warrant with the City of Parma Heights have the option of posting bond on the warrant without being placed in custody. They are required to bring the amount of bond to the Police Department and they will be provided with the paperwork necessary to clear their warrant. They will be issued a new court date and are required to appear in court for their charges. The acceptable forms of payment are cash (in the exact amount), credit cards (VISA, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and Debit Cards). There is an additional Bond Surcharge in the amount of $25.00 that is charged by the State of Ohio for each bond posted.

Our department periodically runs a warrant amnesty program to help clear up old warrants.  To see if you qualify for the program, contact our Mayor’s Court at 440.884.9603.

Any motor vehicles towed by the PHPD will be subject to a $25 release fee.  Proof of ownership through title or registration and a photo identification are required.  Other release conditions may apply and can be found at our police station.
